I wrote to attract people
sang  like a bird does
from a branch with  my feathers
upright
at first
when I was new out of the nest and stretching things
like a bluebird in paradise
now I am old have strutted cooed and
made several nests
I calmed down
sit now on the fence
watching all  
the young birds with strong taut
straight feathers dance and sing
on the branch by the leaf
I used to sit
on and sing
melodies wooing
